CULIMHIB, THIKSDAY, NOVEMBKU 17. 1559.
Opposition Nomination for solicitor.
The friends of the various gentlemen in the
Opposition ranks, who were anxious to fill this
office, met at Geneva on Tuesday last, and on the
4th ballot nominated John Peabody, Esq., of
this city, a# the party candidate. Frank Reese,
Esq., of Butler, was his strongest competitor,
and was beaten in the last heat only tiro lengths.
We have no personal objections to Mr. Peabody.
In point of cleverness and ability, he well de
serves the partiality of his party. Further than
this we say not.
Who will be his opponent has not yet trans
pired. There are many young men of the dem
ocrats party in the circuit, whose talents fit
them for the position, and who would discharge
its duties with fidelity and zeal. Let someone
be designated, not by a party nomination, but
by the general vofce of the people, and the peo
ple will elect him. The number of aspirants is
not so great as to require a party convention to
decide upon their respective claims. Wo have
high opposition authority for saying that such
officers should be elected by the people, and not
by party caucusses.
Election Postponed.
We learn from a letter written by our repre
sentative, Mr. Dixon, to a gentleman in this
city, that a resolution passed the House on
Tuesday, postponing the election of United
States Senator till the next session of the Leg-
islature.
The Maryland Elections.
The yesterday brought the gratifying
intelligence that the recent election in Mary
land has added another, and the last outstand
ing, to the list of Democratic Southern States.
The Democrats have control of both branches
of the Legislature, and a*very respectable ma
jority on joint ballot. The election for mem
bers of Congress shows the following result.
Ist District, .Tames A. Stewart, (dem.)
2nd “ J. M. Kunkle, (dem.)
f)th “ Webster, (Am'n.)
6th “ Geo. W. Hughes, (dem.)
The “Plug Uglies” carried the 3rd and-Ith
(Baltimore Districts) by the most diabolical
ruffianism that ever disgraced a free people.
All orderly people were driven from the polls
and cut-throat villains held complete sway
The voting was a farce and mockery. Messrs.
Davis and Harris received a large ’majority of
the votes cast, but have no’more right to their
scats than if they had been chosen by a crowd
of Hottentots. They were not elected. The
position of Representative was decreed them
by the fiend of mobocracy. How long will
these periodical outrages blur the k escutcheon
of Maryland ? May we not hope that a Demo
cratic Legislature will put an end to this reign
of terror ?
Supreme Court—Ballot.
MII,LKDUE VILER, NoV. 9til, 1559.
Dear Times. —The Democratic members as
sembled in the Representative Hall last night at
8 o'clock to nominate candidates for Judges of
the Supreme Court. The caucus adopted the two
thirds rule and proceeded to ballot. Mr. Lawton,
of Chatham, nominated Hon. Linton Stephens to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Judge McDonald. He was nominated by accla
mation. For the vacancy occasioned by the ex
piration of the term of service of Judge Benning,
Mr. llartridge, of Chatham, nominated the lion.
Henry L. Benning; Mr. Harris, of Worth, R. F°
Lyon, Esq., of Dougherty. The result is a* fol
lows :
First Ballot —Lyon, 87; Benning, 66; Scat
tering, 9.
Second Ballot —Lyon, 82 ; Benning, 62 : Scat
tering, 21.
Third Ballot —Lyon, 73; Benning, 60; Buch
anan, of Coweta, 15 ; Gibson, of Pike, 7.
After this ballot, Mr. Seward, es Thomas, mov
ed an adjournment, which was carried. So there
was no nomination. The Generol Assembly
elect to-morrow. The indications are in favor of
Hon. C. J. Jenkins, of Augusta. C.
Speech of lion. Daniel 8. Dickinson.
The following eloquent and patriotic address
was delivered by the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson,
of New York, on the Ist inst,, before a democrat
ic ratification meeting in Tammany Hall. Its
length has compelled us to redcue its proportions,
but the whole speech is redolent of loyalty to the
Constitution and the rights of the States, and is
worthy a careful reading.
“Mr. President and fellow citizons : I come not
among you at this time, residing as I do far in
the iuterior, to speak to you upon your municipal
affairs, but I avail myself of the kind invitation
extended to me by your President to discourse
for a few minutes upon matters which concern
the positive well being of this great State and its
people, and which concern the relative condition
of the State as a member of this confederacy ; I
avail myself of the opportunity to speak not only
to the great mass of people beforo me, but to the
greater mass throughout the extended borders of
the Empire State through your sprightly, well
conducted and widely circulated public press.
*- ‘-S’ * s s *
There have been, my fellow citizens, and al
ways must be in political life, as in every other
condition of society, two principles that oppose
each other. There is a right and a wrong, a good
and an evil, a truth and a falsehood. Thus in
political affairs there are too great forces that
come up in determined antagonism, and can no
more agree than light and darkness. This an
tagonism is more fully and completely exempli
fied perhaps in political affairs than in any
thing elsewhere. Political partisanship in this
country commenced, as we all know, with the de
mocratic and the federal parties, and the demo
cratic party to-day is the democratic party of all
our past history—the democratic party of the
times of Thomas Jefferson. It has never chang
ed its principles or its name—has never employ
ed an alias, never put on a disguise, never shirk
ed principle; it stands upon the same great prin
ciples of equity and equality, and the constitu
tion, that it did when it was first ushered iuto ex
istence through that great apostle of democracy.
The other party, when it was the federal party,
with all its faults, with all its heresies and false
doctrines and abominations, we might say we still
respected, for it was at least a national party,
extending throughout all the borders of the coun
try. The best form it ever took afterwards was
that of the old whig party. But the present re
publican party, let me say here, is a regular off
spring of ancient federalism. Its course may be
traced like that of a winding stream —sometimes
°P®*> r So,ue times hidden, sometimes running to
t - e *U ort b, sometimes to the South, to the East or
the est, wherever its purposes could be best
subserved, and latterly more upon an under* <
ground railroad than otherwise. (Applause and !
laught#r.) bomesimes it has traversed poisonous j
swamps, sometimes hidden in parched and arid
sands: but it has always been the same stream, 1
from the same putrid lake, and wending its way >
to the same ocean home of dissolution, devolution !
and destruction. The old whig party, combat
ting the democratic party upon financial issues,
proved* with all its errors, a foeman worthy of
the democratic steel. It brought into the field a
great and powerful arry—its Websters, Clays,
Claytons, Davises and Choates—a grand galaxy
of talent, and although in the opinion of the de
moeracy and of the whole people, as the event
showed, it maintained unsound notions in regard
to internal improvements, a protective a
national bank and the national treasury. Yet it
was a national party rallying around the con
stitution. It was too national a party to serve
tlfe purposes of the managing leaders who had
taken possession of it, and hence the old whig
ship scuttled, her crew dismissed, the republican
party inaugurated, sailing under its black and
bloody colors, and based upon a single idea, no
higheror worthier in State or national legislation
than the single idea of slavery. The party took
to itself all the bad elements of the whig party,
dismissing the good, gathering the debris, the de
sertion, the treacherous material of the demo
cratic partj r ; gathering all the “isms” and ‘ites’
of any name, to march in a erusade, like tffe ar
my of Peter the Hermit, to expel the infidel
slaveholder from this holy land of the Republic.
(Applause.) To Kansas, which was in no more
danger of becoming slaveholding than of becom
ing one vast rice field, it sent its sanctified rifles
for the purpose of sfiooting the gospel into every
creature (laughter:) jand it chartered the Browns,
the blues, the reds and the blacks to go there
and enter into this “irrepressible conflict.” The
whole legislation of the country was brought to a
stand, public attention was arrested, and wher
ever Kansas shrieked republicanism lifted up its
responsive voice. Kansas was the stock in trade
the floating capital for republicanism to trade
upon; and by means of that it took possession of
the State of New York and other democratic
States, taking advantage of temporary divisions
of the democratic party, arrying together a mot
ley crowd, including those who knew it was a
cheat, and down to honest error and blind fa
naticism.
In process of time Kansas was played out.
(Laughter ) Like an insect that flits its brief
hour iu the sunshine, deposits its eggs and
dies, Kansas was permitted to go quietly out,
but it left a successor behind. Some of those
chartered to enter into the conflict, together
with a portion of the sanctified rifles, ware ta
ken to do duty in another direction. I have
heard the opposition party styled black repub
lican. I have never called them so, and if I
am to give them any designation, if I were to
place any adjective before the substantive, I
would call them Brown republicans. (Ap
plause and laughter.) I have very little to say
concerning the miserable men who have en
tered into this “irrepressible conflict” in earn
est, upon whom the law has laid its hand. I
will leave them there. But I have much to
say concerning those who set this ball in mo
tion. This Brown whom they now turn their
backs upon, was recently a hero. His name
was borne upon every breeze, and mingled
with the loudest shrieks that came from Kan
sas. He was not only John Brown, but Ossa
watomie Brown, Capt. Brown, Major Brown
and Gen. Brown. (Applause and laughter.)—
But now that he is in the hands of the law, he
is called “crazy old Brown,” and left to his
fate. What we assert is that the conduct of
Brown and his associates is the legitimate, if
not necessary, harvest from just such sowing
as year after year the republican party lias
made. Every reasoning man knows that in
the beginning we were all slave States; that
we were such when we entered into this fed
eral compact to perpetuate the blessings of lib
erty. It is no light thing, no matter for a mere
nine days’ wonder, that the people of Har
per’s Ferry, in one of the States of this con
federacy of peaceful States, find themselves
suddenly assailed by desperadoes, and that
State slumbering upon a volcano. The State
that furnished a Commander-in-Chief for the
Revolution, the mother of Presidents, one of
the oldest and most faithful, one that lias dis
charged all her obligations, one that had fought
side by side with the Empire State, has been
invaded.
The democratic party is a party of /let alone/
in everything except sustaining the constitution.
It believes our States arc our equals in
right not only .upon paper, but in spirit—[cheers]
not only equal iu theory, but iu practice; they
possess all the rights that wo possess and enjoy.
The highest duty ,of both slave and free States
we hold to be to have a kind regard for each oth
er, in all their varied relations under the federal
compact, which that compact suggested in its ori
ginal adoption. But the republican party pro
poses to wage, and does wage an irrepressible
conflict against the slave States. Look at the
republican press during the last ten or fifteen
years —see its pages reeking with exciting lan
guage and hostile denunciations of slavery. jHear
their incendiary orators during that time. And
even this very day the same tone of denuncia
tion is* going on. Is; it* to bo wondered at that
when so many are preaching some should be
found to practice—that Brown and his associates,
with the aid and encouragement they had receiv
ed, shonld attempt this insurrection in one of the
States of this confederacy? They arc not to get
off by saying it is “Old Brown,” “mad Brown,”
or “crazy Brown.” Who, I ask, in the name
of truth and justice, furnished the material, the
sinews for this terrible war? Old Brown, “crazy
Brown” and his associates did not. No crazy
man ever laid that infernal plot. It was done
with murderous deliberation. Every step,
through all its devious, dark “winding way,j was
done with murderous deliberation. Who furn
ished the pikes to be placed in the hands of in
furiated blacks at midnight, to murder their mas
ters and their mistreses? Who furnished the
arms and the munitions and sped them on their
way to inaugurate this irrepressible conflict.—
These questions will have to be answered to the
satisfaction of the American people.
If slavery was an evil to be warred against,
why did these States ever enter into a compact?
And if New York or her citizens were going to be
imbued with such a wonderful spirit of liberty,
why was it not manifested long ago? No! all at
once the necessities of a political party have de
manded that the slavery question should be
pressed into their service simply because every
thing else has been worn out and run into the
ground. (Applause.) Look at this opposition
party. They have called themselves all manner
of names, taking a name and wearing it out like
an old worn out garment. The old whig name,
full of honored memories, lasted longer than any.
Now republican has been brought into service,
newly whitewashed, and if it lasts them through
the next election, they will never ti'y it on again.
(Applause and laughter.) Opposition is a suitable
name—opposition to the constitution, opposition
to the best interests of the country, opposition to
the sound financial system, opposition to’ good
faith and good feeling between the several
States. They have opposed every democratic
measure, the purchase of Louisiana, the war of
ISI2, the repeal of a high tariff. Had their coun
sels prevailed, the Union would now have com
prised only the old thirteen States and their ter
ritories; and yet, cramped up as it would have
been, it would be too large for this party, for it
would have included Georgia, the Carolinas,Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland and Del
aware, in which there is no republican party.—
(Applause.) The republican jacket would have
been too small for that cramped up and shorn na
tion. (Cheers and laughter.) How, I would like
to know, do the republican party propose to ex
ercise the government when they have no local
habitation nor a name, and when this great ir
repressible army of never march.
* s- # * v *
He appealed to the capitalists, the owners of
real estate, and especially the laborer,as they val
ued their own interests, to unite in putting down
this murderous party of irrepressible conflict.—
Brown had been convicted of treason, but that
was a mere drop in the bucket; he arraigned this
party for treason against God and mankind. What
had Virginia done that New York had not done?
New York bad abolished slavery; let Virginia en*
joy it or abolish it in her own time and her own
way. Who was to judge? We must answer for
our own sins, not those of Virginia. Shame on
this constant in ter meddling; shame on this band
ing together of citizens of a State which was once
a slave State to take their neigbors by the throat.
Slavery was daily growing weaker, hut if it were
growing stronger day by day it would be none
of our business. We are called upon by our own
interests, as well as by the principles of justice,
and equity, to stand by the compromises of the
the constitution. This question will have to bo
met by the democratic party, and the conserva
tive spirit of the country. He called upon mem
bers of the republican party to pause and reflect,
and if this outrage fat Harper’s Ferry did not
arouse them there must soon be a literal “irre
pressible conflict” of battle and blood; let every
man rally to support the Constitution in its in
tegrity. Though the angry waves of republican
ism might surge, he believed the conservative
spirit of the country would be able to withstand
the shock. It was time to speak plainly, not for
partisan or temporary purposes, but to maintain
the doctrines of the constitution. The union of
these States was formed for the purpose of
securing to mankind the blessings of a free gov
ernment. Such a Union was never formed be
fore, and never would be again. Its dissolution
would be a second fall of man, more terrible and
fearful, because beyond the power of redemption.
Mr. Dickinson retired amidst enthusiastic ap
plause.
liarper’s Ferry Items.
A Richmond letter writer in the New York
Herald says:
I am informed to-day that it is the instention
to try Cook, the Harper's Ferry rebel, in the U.
S. District Court for that district. This course
has been determined upon with a view to com
pel the attendance of Seward, Greeley, Wilson,
Howe and the other outsiders, who are suspec
ted of complicity in the late insurrection. If, in
the progress of the trial, their guilt as aiders or
abettors shall be established, the probability is
that they will be assigned positions in the dock
beside Cook, and subjected to the same ordeal that
led to the majority of them being brought for
ward as witnesses. The list to be summoned will
embrace every individual, wheresoever he may
reside, whose name has been identified with this
movement in any connection, however remote
As to their appearance in obedience to the sum
mons, that must be presumed as certain, inas
much as it is a question involving the ability of
the Federal Government to enforce obedience to
the summons. This is the only means to insure
a full development of the origin and progress
of this movement, and of the relations to it of the
prominent men of other States, whose moral com
plicity, at least, has been already fixed. It will
prove the most interesting and important trial in
the criminal annals of this country.
Fred. Douglass, the negro, in a letter (dated
Canada West, Oct., 31.) abounding with impu
dence, says in relation to Cook’s charge of cow
ardice :
Mr. Cook may bo perfectly right in denoun
cing me as a coward. I have not one word to
say in defence or vindication es my character for
courage. I have always been more distinguish
ed for running than fighting—and tried by the
Harper’s Ferry insurrection test, I am most
miserably deficientin courage—even more so than
Cook, when he deserted his brave old Captain and
fled to the mountains. To this extent, Mr. Cook
is entirely right, and will meet no contradiction
from me or from anybody else. But wholly,
grievously and most unaccountably wrong is Mr.
Cook, when he asserts that I promised to be pre
sent in person at the Harper’s Ferry insurrec
tion. Os whatever other imprudence and indis
cretion I may have been guilty, I have never
made a promise so rash and wild as this. The
taking of Harper’s Ferry was a measure never en
couraged by my word or by my voto, at any time
or place : my wisdom or my cowardice, has not
only kept mo from Harper’s Ferry, but has
equally kept me from making any promise to go
there. I desire to be quite emphatic here —for of
all guilty men, he is the guiltiest who lures his
fellow men to an undertaking of this sort, under
promise of assistance, when he afterwards fails
to render. I therefore declare that there is no
man living, and no man dead, who, if living,
could truthfully say that I ever promised him ©r
anybody else, either conditional or otherwise,
that I would be present in person at the Har
per’s Ferry insurrection. My field of labor for
the abolition of slavery has not extended to an
attack upon the United States Arsenal. In the
teeth of the documents already published, and of
those which may hereafter be published, I affirm
that no man connected with that insurrection,
from its noble and heroic leader down, can con
nect my name with a single broken promise of
any sort whatever. So muih I deem it proper
to say negatively.
The time lor a full statement of what I know,
and of all I know, of this desperate but sublimely
disinterested effort to emancipate the slaves of
Maryland and Virginia from their cruel task
masters has not yet come, and may never c^me.
* # * # *
I have no apology for keeping out of the way
of these gentlemanly United States Marshals, who
are said to have paid Rochester a somewhat pro
tracted visit lately, with a view to an interview
with me. A government recognizing the valid
ity of the Dred Scott decision, at such a time as
this, is not likely to have any very charitable
feeling towards me, and if I am to meet its rep
resentatives, I prefer to do so, at least, upon equal
terms. If I have committed any offence against
society, I have done so on the soil of the State of
New York, and I should be perfectly willing
there to be arraigned before an impartial jury;
but I have insuperable objections to be caught
by the hands of Mr. Buchanan, and “bagged” by
Gov. Wise.
Some reflections may bo made on my leaving
on a tour to England, just at this time. I have
only to say, that my going to that country has
been rather delayed than hastened by the insur
rection at Harper’s Ferry. All knew that I had
intended to leave here in the first week in Novem
ber.

WOLFE’S GENUINE COGNAC BRANDY,
WOLFE’S GENUINE PORT WINE,
WOLFE’S GENUINE MADEIRA WINE.
WOLFE’S GENUINE SBERRY WINI.
JAM now supplying the trade with pure Cogn&e
Brandy, in houles for medical and private use. The
immense success that has crowned my effoits to place
a pure Gin within the reach ot ail, under the name ot
Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, and to drive out of the
market the pernicious compounds sold as Gin, through
out the country, led many leading druggists, apothe
caries and medical men, for some years past, to solicit
me to pursue the same course in regard to the article
of Brandy. I should have complied with these re
quests from ali quarters long ago, but was deterred
from it by the fact, that owing to the exorbitant prices
of Brandy in France, consequent upon the shortness
of the grape crop for some years, there was no ehance
of my being able to import the choicest Braudy, bottle
it and sell it at moderate pric s. Fortunately for me,
the v rape crop for the last an i previous year (and the
prospect for this) was abundant; and prices of Brandy
have fallen to the standard often years ago. The du
ty on Brandv is also seventy per cent tower, aad 1
have now made arrangements.with'four Brandy expor
ters in France, of the highest repute, and am regular
ly receiving consignments of the best Cognac Brandy,
which I arn bottling and selling as Wolfe’s Genuine
Cognac Brandy. 1 guarantee with tny seal, label and
certificates, the Bran y so bottled by me. as the pure
unadulterated article, and it will be found, when used
as a medicine, a beverage, or a cordial, i ealthy and
invigorating. It has been a matter of universal coin-
plaint, that a bottle of pure, unfixed French Brandy,
was very difficult to obtain, and tbe purchaser, nine
times intt n, was deceived with a vile manufactured
imitation Os all descriptions of ardent spirits, Brsn
dy. from its high price, has been the one article that ■
mixers and sellers have turned their ate tion to, and
mil ions of gallons of the so called French Bran J
• have been scetiered annually through the land, and
have been the primary cause of murders, suicides,
crue ties and crimes, and have sent thousands to an
I early grave, self-destroyers from delirium tremen, nia
j nia-a potu and horrors, names unknown, until
unprincipled men began to make maddening com- i
pounds and sell it as the pure French Brandy. J
The virtues of pure French Brandy need not be told ,
Iby me. They are known throughout the world a* a I
medicine or mild stimulant It is as the French nation 1
poetically call it “Eau de la vie,” the w.ter of li e - I
Butthis applies to it only when pure and unadultera- I
ted. Manufactured with the fearful ingredient which
make a good imitation, it becomes a death drink to
innocent tens of thousands of onr race. To remedy a I
fearful evil, I have commenced importing Brandy, bot
tling and selling it as “WoUe’s Genuine Cognac ]
Brandy.” lam daily receiving orders from the drug
gists and apothecaries in all parts of the country, to *ed i
it for medical purpose*.
